Construction

What you call us for

The construction freight problems that don't fit a portal.

Every job has a calendar — inspections, pours, deliveries that have to land between the framing and the drywall. Here are the freight problems that get our phone ringing, and what we do about each.

• Jobsite access is tight Flatbed with hand-unload, hotshot for back-lot drops, pup-trailer splits where a 53′ won't fit.
• Inspection or pour deadlines Hotshot dispatch within 2 hours · direct origin-to-destination · no consolidation stops.
• Material delivered too early Lilburn warehouse staging · release to site on your draw schedule.
• Oversize or over-height load Step-deck, double-drop, RGN · permits and pilot routes handled in-house.
• Partial flatbed cost trap Flatbed LTL billed by linear feet · no phantom density or accessorial surprises.
• POD friction with the office Same-day digital POD · driver phone shared on every dispatch.

Why Comet for construction

A carrier that reads the schedule, not just the BOL.

Construction logistics is a sequencing problem dressed up as a shipping problem. We've been the carrier behind the schedules of GCs across the southeast since 1970 — we know the difference between a permit you can route around and one you can't, between a foreman who'll hand-unload and one who won't.
